Need help with pace of play!

Not my kind of golf. Very slow pace of play, no marshal anywhere, dangerous blind shots. 5+ hour round on sunday afternoon. Quirky holes with very few level fairway approach shots. No thanks!

Felt like a pro

Still learning so I play from the whites. It makes some holes challenging, but most are gettable if you stay in the grass. Sent me out ahead of my tee time. They even bring your cart to you(if not too busy) to speed up the process. Greens are great. Pay attention to undulation or your ball might come back to you(3rd hole especially). Enjoy

Getting gypped....

I purchased a time through golfnow....that included a cart.....I have been playing as a single the past few weeks, as my two usual players have been ill.

The young man at the register said I would be playing as a single if that was ok.....he said if I chose to do that, I would have to pay an additional $15,....for a cart....I said my reservation, included a cart....he insisted!....would not let me play as a single, even though the course was empty.....

Very frustrating.

......I did not come accross another player till the 14th hole.....I don’t think their position was right....or nice.

Hi Bob, thank you for the four stars. Any reservation made through a tee time booking service will have to have any changes communicated to them. We apologize that this led to a less than desirable experience, but we hope that you will return in the near future.

Good bang for the buck

This is an unusual course. Par 70. Par 32 front. Par 38 back. All three par 5s on back. Played blues. Quite short 5120 yards. Fairways are so so. Many are sloped. Bunkers are inconsistent. I was only in one but have played here before. Greens are in great shape and are by far the best part of the course. Several blind tee shots. Many shots up to elevated greens. A straight hitter will do well here. A wild bomber will suffer I think on this course.

Very Nice "Go To" course

The course, for me, is the determining factor for my review. The course fairways were in very good shape and the greens were excellent. It feels darn good to have the ball hit, stick, and roll back as designed. Well kept greens are a must for that. Fairways were well trimmed, but the bunkers could use some additional sand or at least get tilled before the day's play. Pace of play was fair but there seems to be no course marshal to ensure pace of play is maintained and course etiquette observed, i.e. allowing faster groups to "play thru".

I had a great round of play.

Fun course

Fun course to play. Pace of play was good. The front 9 fairways were in better shape than some of the fairways in the back 9. The greens were in great shape. The bunkers need sand. It’s a great deal if booking a hot deal on GolfNow.

Fun, very playable course.

Once my ego allowed me to play the blue tees, I'm really enjoying this course more. Some great short par 4's, very playable par 3's and challenging par 5's. If you can keep ball in the fairways, you will avoid most of the trouble and dirt areas. Greens in good shape. A fun course, not long (but not an executive course) and you can score on. Very reasonable green fees.

Very friendly staff and great course conditions. Great value for your money. The only thing I do not love is the course lay out. It is very confusing and zig zags everywhere and not labeled great. Otherwise I would give this place a 5 star :)

Great course - Slow play

Fun course and friendly staff. The course needs to work on Pace of Play. Last two rounds we were unable to finish because the pace was unbearable. Waiting at every tee box. Will not go back anytime soon. Not too excited about 5+ hour rounds.

Great Value and Fun Course

First time out, will absolutely be back and much better prepared for the fast greens! Sand traps could be ‘sandier’ but still playable, some muddy areas on the fairways but overall a great course, especially for the price.

TOO Many Boulders

Just not our cup of tea. Often couldn't see the layout of the hole. Fairways were so bumpy that a good shot might bounce off the course. Sand traps were mostly dirt.
